An Honour

Bank Manager Rasheed Bank Iraq.
 
Following 
the first Gulf War in 1991, Saddam Hussein authorized for the first 
time the formation of private banks in Iraq. From 1992 until the end of 
the decade, 17 such banks were established. Up until the second Gulf 
War, however, Saddam prohibited these banks from conducting 
international transactions - including payments, remittances, and 
letters of credit. Now, as Iraq develops a market- driven banking 
system, these restrictions are being reduced and the importance of 
Iraq's private banks is expected to grow significantly.
 
An important 
step was taken on October 28, 2003, when the Central Bank of Iraq 
authorized Iraq's private banks to process international payments, 
remittances and foreign currency letters of credit. This action follows 
other important steps taken recently to modernize Iraq's banking system 
- the establishment of a new national currency, for instance, and the 
launching of daily foreign exchange auctions by the Central Bank.
 
My 
branch was raided by members of the Republican forces as they were 
fleeing Baghdad and got my deputy Mr. Muhamed K, killed during the 
process as he failed to produce the keys to the strong finance room on 
time. After their sudden disappearance we decided to take advantage of 
that ample opportunity to over invoice the total sum raided from the 
bank as well as help ourselves by packaging a sufficient total sum to 
our private pause. I and some of my colleagues who are involved in this 
deal have agreed to sort you a certain percentage as you help us in 
receiving the fund. 
 
I assure you that my partners have agreed to 
give you 25% of the total sum provided you can give us a very strong 
assurance and guarantee that our share would be secured and please 
always remember to treat this matter with the utmost confidentiality, 
as any form of exposure would compromise our positions in banking 
organization. 
 
We packaged this huge sum of money in a trunk box 
deposited in a Diplomatic / Finance Inc. This deal had urgently been 
shipped out of Iraq to a location I will make known to you later on. We 
successfully did that by using the influence and license of United 
Nations Red Cross Society, which are presently in charge of the aid and 
support in Iraq. 
 
However, I want you to keep strictly confidential, 
as I am still the manager of the bank to secure linkage and disclosure. 
I just need that I get you as my reliable foreign partner who will as 
it is be my representative out there in your Country; I want you as a 
partner who will assist me in investing in profitable ventures in your 
Country. I need a person I could rely on.
 
Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Abdal-
Jabir Aziz
Bank Manager Rasheed Bank Iraq.
